Do you need to remove racks when steam cleaning oven?

Since Steam Clean doesn’t involve chemicals or high heat, you can actually leave the racks inside. You don’t even have to lock the door! First wipe away any excess grease and soils from the cool oven.

Add 1-2 tablespoons of water (a little more if you’re steaming multiple portions). Place in the microwave and pop a lid on top to keep the steam in. Microwave on high! Firmer vegetables like turnips or potatoes may take 6-8 minutes, and softer, moister veg like broccoli will take less around 4 minutes.

While a steam oven can be used in “steam only” cooking, current steam assist appliances cannot. Steam assist ovens are considered combination appliances, or “Combi Ovens,” and use both dry heat and water. The oven heats up and the assist supplies water to make the oven humid.

The high pressure and high temperature of steam cleaning make it one of the most effective cleaning techniques. Most cleaners produce steam at temperatures of at least 212 degrees Fahrenheit with quality Fortador units producing even hotter steam.

Steam ovens keep more nutrients in your food, keep its color better, and eliminate the need for oil. Steaming also prevents cross-flavoring, so you can cook a salmon and chocolate torte at the same time without getting a fishy dessert. A combi-steam oven may be your favorite appliance at holiday time and year round.

Unlike using a regular microwave where you need to use a separate dish to steam your food, a steam microwave uses the entire oven cavity to steam its contents. This one convenient appliance combines the health benefits of cooking with steam with the power and speed of cooking with microwaves.
